PEDro – the Physiotherapy Evidence Database – is a free, Australian, web-based database of evidence relevant to physiotherapy. It contains citations and abstracts of more than 33,000 randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines relevant to physiotherapy. Some records also have links to full-text versions of the documents. If there is no link to the full item, you can search for it using the Library's main search tool, Primo Search.

The randomised controlled trials on PEDro are rated for quality, to assist in discriminating between trials which are likely to be valid and interpretable, and those which are not.

PEDro is produced by the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy at The George Institute for Global Health, an Australian health and medical research centre.

PEDro is similar to three other Evidence-Based Practice databases, all developed in Australia: OTseeker (covering occupational therapy); speechBITE (speech therapy), and PsycBITE (acquired brain injury).

Project MUSE is a collaboration between libraries and publishers which provides online full-text access to a comprehensive collection of humanities and social sciences journals.

This resource contains listings of eBooks and eJournals but CSU does not subscribe to any eBooks in the collection. Rather, CSU subscribes only to the full-text journals, which are nearly 500 in number.

Note that, for searching, the database is set up to show only results from these full-text resources, so the results of searching should be all journal articles and should be all available in full-text.

Users can conduct a basic search across the journals, and then refine or expand their search in various ways. Refiners include by "research area", author, and language, while a search can be expanded to show unsubscribed (eBook) material. Users can also browse the entire collection by research areas, titles, publishers, or content types.

ProQuest is a provider of a huge range of databases covering all subject areas, and including a range of sources. It is one of 4 major databases platforms that CSU Library subscribes to, the others being EBSCOhost, Informit, and Ovid.

The link here is to the search screen with ALL the ProQuest databases selected for search. But you can choose to search the databases individually, or in any combination. To change databases, go to the Databases(9) link in the top line of links, or to the Change databases link in the breadcrumb trail. ProQuest organises its databases in a hierarchical structure, and many databases are in fact collections of subsidiary databases.

Updated weekly, PsycINFO provides access to journal articles, books, chapters, and dissertations. Most of the journals in PsycINFO are peer-reviewed.

It is primarily an index, but does include some full-text links to items in the Journals@Ovid database. You you can also use SFX links to link from a record in PsycINFO to the full-text (if available) in another resource.

For information on things like numbers of records and languages/countries represented, see the APA's PsycINFO factsheet.

This is one of many databases available in the Ovid platform. Once in the Ovid interface, you can change to another database by clicking on the Change link in the main search panel. All Ovid databases can be searched individually or in any combination.

PsycTESTS (Ovid) contains psychological tests, measures, scales, surveys and other assessments, plus descriptive information about tests and their development and administration. It includes published tests, and unpublished tests that researchers have developed but not made commercially available.

Two types of records

"Test master" records summarise the test and describe purpose and design. There are more than 6100, and 75% (more than 4400) include the actual test;

Other records cover development, review, or use of a test, and provide extra details, sourced from peer-reviewed literature, technical reports, or dissertations.

So some tests have more than one record.

Subject coverage

Developmental measures

Military tests

Scales for beliefs, relationships, or expectancies

Neuropsychological assessments

Racial and ethnic identity scales

Educational measures

Resilience, anger response, or substance abuse inventories

Aptitude and achievement measures

Physical health related assessments

Competency measures

Aggression, coping, or functional status questionnaires

Occupational measures

Personality assessments

Intelligence tests

You can use most tests without formal permission

A permissions field alerts you to tests you can use without formal permission. This is the case with most tests. Other options include contacting the author and/or the publisher.

PubChem is a free resource available as three separate but linked databases which contain the chemical structures of small organic molecules, and information on their biological activities. It aims "to provide a public online resource of comprehensive information on the biological activities of small molecules … to molecular biologists as well as computational and medicinal chemists".

PubChem is part of the Entrez search and retrieval system, which also gives access to PubMed and other biomedical databases. The system is maintained by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a component of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), which is in turn part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). Chemical structure records within PubChem include links to other Entrez databases, providing information on biological properties. These include links to PubMed scientific literature and NCBI's protein 3D structure resource.

Public Health Database is a ProQuest database which covers more than 900 publications, including more than 700 full-text publications which in turn include more than 500 scholarly journals. Other sources include dissertations & theses, audio and videos, news, trade publications, reports, and blogs, podcasts and websites.

Once in the ProQuest interface, you can change the database(s) you are searching by clicking on the Change Databases link in the breadcrumb trail at the top left of the ProQuest screen. All ProQuest databases can be searched individually or in any combination. If you wish to search more broadly, ProQuest Health and Medicine Databases is a subject-area package of several ProQuest databases covering health and medicine.

PubMed - developed by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the (US) National Library of Medicine (NLM) - has more than 27 million records of articles in the biomedical literature, and a small selection of full-text items from the NCBI Books database. Subject coverage includes medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, health care systems, and the life sciences.

PubMed is primarily an index, but many article records include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.

One feature of PubMed is that a standard search will automatically map to relevant MeSH terms (Medical Subject Headings), and include them in the search. You can also choose to search PubMed via the NLM's MeSH database.

PubMed includes a journals database, which can be searched in various ways, and the My NCBI feature, which allows for saving results and searches and for setting up alerts.

PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital full-text archive of life sciences and medical sciences journal literature, developed and managed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the (US) National Library of Medicine (NLM).

A list of the journals included in PubMed Central is available at the PMC Journal List. New journals are continually being added to the database.

The currency and age of material in PubMed Central varies by journal. Many journals make their content available in PMC as soon as it is published. Others may delay release of content in PMC for anywhere from a few months to a few years after publication, but most provide free access to full text within a year of publication.

NLM is digitising the earlier print issues of many of the PMC journals in order to provide online access to the complete run of issues of these journals. PMC has material dating back to mid- to late-1800s or early 1900s for some journals.
